Three Kingdoms

In any era, as long as there is a class, the lower class will inevitably guess the thoughts of the upper class, and even regard this ability as a secret book or a unique skill.

Zhang Ze is no exception. It has become a subconscious behavior for him to figure out the general Fei Qian who conquered the west. Zhang Ze knew that he was indeed a bit dishonest about Liu Dan, but having said that, everyone, as long as they have the ability to think independently, needs to be responsible for what they think about. This standard should be ability, not age.

So Liu Dan fell into the current desperate situation, or the desperate situation in the eyes of others. Liu Dan's own fairyland is also Liu Dan's own choice. Zhang Ze just chose silence and go with the flow at the critical moment. Is there any responsibility? , but not very big.

However, the problem is that Zhang Ze cannot confirm what this problem and this responsibility, which are not big in his eyes, are in the mind of General Fei Qian...

Who would have known that Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West, actually came to Hanzhong. It was as if he had been caught on the spot. After all, Liu Dan had become what he is now. Zhang Ze did not mention it at all in his previous official documents. From this perspective , even if Zhang Ze is not held accountable for the crime of promoting it, it is more or less difficult to avoid the simple crime of negligence and dereliction of duty.

Zhang Ze originally thought that the Battle of Bingzhou between General Fei Qian and General Yuan Shao would not end so quickly, so Fei Qian, the General of the West, naturally did not have much thought to come to Hanzhong. As long as Hanzhong There was nothing wrong with the money and food provided, so naturally no one cared about Liu Dan's inadvertent "death of illness" in the process. Even if we take a step back, if General Fei Qian paid attention, who would die for one? What kind words can Dangui say...

However, in the world, plans often fail to keep up with changes. Who would have guessed that General Yuan Shao would be so careless?

General Yuan Shao seemed to be a bit showy, which also proved the tyranny of General Zhengxi Fei Qian from another angle. So when General Zhengxi said that he would "don't care about it for the time being", Zhang Ze almost immediately reacted. "For now" is his last chance to make amends.

So, how to make up for it?

Let Hanzhong pay more money and food to support General Fei Qian in his expedition to the west?

Zhang Ze thought for a while and shook his head.

This idea cannot be regarded as wrong, but it cannot be regarded as right either.

Paying money and food, or recruiting more money and food, can indeed help Zhengxi and make General Zhengxi happy, but this matter is not mandatory!

If someone else had done it, he might even have done it better than Zhang Ze. Because new officials always have three things to worry about when they take office, and most Hanzhong gentry will not confront the newly appointed officials from the beginning, so in a short period of time, as long as the new officials think about it and use appropriate methods, then in a short period of time, they can It is not too difficult to come up with some extra money and food.

Therefore, what Zhang Ze needs is something that he must do, something that no one else can do except him. Only in this way can the "temporary" mentioned by General Zhengxi go on indefinitely.

So what are the things that you can do that others can’t do, or that are difficult or bad to do?

Zhang Ze was in his study room, circling back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly, Zhang Ze saw the books on the desk in the study room, and his heart couldn't help but move...

China has had a long, very long, very long period of time where there were national laws at the top and family laws at the bottom.

Even during the Republic of China, clan law was still greater than local law and national law. To give a simple example, under such circumstances, if a mistress has an extramarital affair, life will not be easy. Not everyone has the golden body to be exempted from entering the pig cage, and often only the man has it, while the woman either Being on a wooden donkey, or being in a pig cage, so a woman who is not stupid to a certain extent will not easily betray her. After all, not only her own life, but also her family's reputation, the price paid is indeed too high.

If it weren't for the Cultural Revolution, many places would still have preserved this "tradition." Therefore, from a certain perspective, everything has its contradictory unity.

Such customs were formed, of course, because of the feudal system.

From the moment when the Duke of Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period enfeoffed the world, three basic levels were formed: princes, nobles, nobles, officials, and the grassroots of Guizhou. These levels cannot be easily crossed. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, and then to the Republic of China, in fact, all It can be seen as the collision and mutual penetration between these three classes. The more prosperous the age, the more stable the class will be. Then conflicts will continue to accumulate, and then it will enter the next stage. The changes of the times have only made the differences between these three classes There are some windows for mutual communication, but in essence, there are not many changes. For details, you can refer to the Asan Kingdom, which still has a large number of such customs.

Therefore, Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West, wanted to implement Han laws and reprinted the Nine Chapter Laws and other laws. It may not matter in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Zhang Ze's eyes, this is actually the same as Jia Gong, seeking in the law. Change, seek stability through Confucianism...

But what are the benefits to Zhang Ze from doing this? Therefore, although Zhang Ze guessed the intentions of some of the generals who conquered the West, Fei Qian, he still put these newly arrived laws on the back burner and did not actually implement them.

But now, it seems it's time to compromise.

After Zhang Ze sat back at the desk, he took the laws in front of him and flipped through them.

The laws of the Han Dynasty are of course incomparable with the laws of later generations, but even the laws of later generations still have some loopholes. For people who can change their ID cards and time at any time, the law is just a piece of paper, but on the surface , we still have to talk about the law.

As the patriarch of a noble clan, Zhang Ze naturally likes to be the spokesperson of the law. In this way, his status in the family will be more consolidated and more respected. But if it were replaced by Han law...

Doesn't this mean that as long as the tribesmen abide by the Han laws, Zhang Ze will not be easy to control? In other words, it means that he, a clan leader, must also be subject to the laws and regulations of the Han Code?

Although Zhang Ze was somewhat enlightened, he still had some hesitation when picking up these books of Han law.

Looking at the three-color flag outside the wall of the government office, Zhang Ze was silent for a long time, sighed, then cleared his throat slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Come here! Take a certain name post and go to Si's house, Tian's house, The Yang family and the Niu family are posting! It means that I will host a family banquet tomorrow, please be sure to enjoy it!"

That’s all, that’s all, let’s keep the present moment first!

…………………………

Zhang is thinking about how to protect the present, but Xu Huang is thinking about how to protect his future.

Looking at the three-color battle flag swaying above his head, Xu Huang's mind could not help but sway.

Now under the three-color battle flag of General Zhengxi, it is no longer like the three or two people in Bingzhou...

Zhang Liao, with three hundred soldiers, broke into Hongnong to seize the grain road, forcing Tongguan's army to advance or retreat. Zhao Yun was from a humble background, but he was able to lead an army alone, maneuvering among the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Wuhuan, and forced the general Yuan Shao to retreat in one battle. The partial army; and that Taishi Ci who appeared from nowhere, with extremely enchanting body skills and cavalry control ability...

Every time Xu Huang thinks about this, the corners of his mouth twitch.

Under Zhengxi, there seem to be too many monsters!

How to do it?

Are you going to say that Zhang Liao has an impure mind and must have ulterior motives for following Wen Marquis Lu Bu in circles? Or should we say that Zhao Yun was from a humble background and was in charge of the people in Montenegro, so it was inevitable that he would be resurrected? Or is there some collusion between Pentai Shici and General Pingdong so that they can come and go smoothly without any hindrance?

Who wouldn’t do irresponsible trolling?

In comparison, Xu Huang's previous achievements seem to be far away, or they are no longer dazzling marks.

White wave?

Fighting the Qiang people?

Can it be done by someone else?

Not necessarily impossible. Over the years, I don’t know how many people have fought against the Yellow Turbans, Black Mountain and White Wave. Some have been defeated, and naturally some have won. As for the Qiang people, let alone that. The Han and Qiang people have been at war for thirty or forty years, and each has its own victory or defeat. Who has won? Can you say that whoever leaves you will definitely be able to do it, or can you say that he will definitely not be able to do it?

But on the other hand, Xu Huang was asked to command the cavalry, traveling between black mountains and white waters, in Bingbeiyouzuo, or in Heluo and Jizhou, looking for opportunities...

Xu Huang asked himself, he did not dare to say that he could do better than Zhao Yuntai Shi Ci.

As a result, the insecurity in Xu Huang's heart became even stronger.

Naturally, I don’t dare to think about the first line, so now I am considered the second line combat force under Zheng Xi? Or maybe it can’t even be ranked in the second tier?

Xu Huang shook his head, as if he wanted to shake this not-so-good idea out of his mind.

Did he defect to Zhengxi in the first place just to become a low-level general who could not even be ranked second-rate?

What a joke!

Then the problem is very realistic. When it comes to riding skills, Xu Huang is not the best, and his control over cavalry is not the best either. And as for infantry...

Damn it, as long as there is some ability, there is that general who can't command the infantry?

Even if these foot soldiers are immediately transferred to the hands of people like Li Rujia Xu who are more interested in people's livelihood and government affairs, it will not delay much. These people can still manage well and set up camp when they should. Just line up the formation, and you will definitely not be any worse than Xu Huang in commanding.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I have an advantage over these people in that I can carry an ax and fight in battle?

Xu Huang grinded his teeth.

Xu Huang, who has inherited more or less from his family, naturally knows how much it will take to live in youth if he is purely a battle general. Indeed, in the years when his body function was at its peak, his scenery was unparalleled, and he was on the battlefield. The sharp center of gravity of the entire army is admired by thousands of people and will receive many honors and rewards. However, as he grows older, his body is injured and his strength weakens, how can he fight on the front line on the battlefield for ten or twenty years?

Then where are these fighters who have fallen from their peak?

They have become stepping stones and collectibles for the next generation of fighters to become famous. They have become placed in wooden boxes and become capital for the opponent to show off their military exploits.

A pure fighter has no future, so what advantages do you have and where should you use them?

During these days, Xu Huang was rushing from Longyou to Hanzhong, constantly thinking about this issue in his mind. After all, this issue is related to Xu Huang's own future direction, as well as the Xu family's prospects and expectations.

"General! Ahead is Yang Ping Pass!"

Xu Huang suddenly looked up and found that it was indeed the case. The outline of Yangping Pass had already appeared among the distant mountains.

Not long after, Xu Huang met Ma Heng, the commander of Yizhou and the commander of Yangping Pass, at the foot of Yangping Pass.

Ma Heng was actually recruited by Liu Dan on purpose, in an attempt to use the Jingxiang power of Ma Heng and others to fight against Zhang Ze, a native of Hanzhong. Unexpectedly, Liu Dan himself collapsed before the two sides actually entered the wrestling stage. As a result, Ma Heng was naturally excluded from the central administrative circle of Hanzhong and became the guard of Yangping Pass under the title of an individual driver.

Of course, from another perspective, it is safer for an important pass like Yangping Pass to fall into the hands of the Jingxiang Sect. Therefore, although Xu Shu later settled in Hanzhong, he did not have many opinions on such a transfer. . In Xu Shu's view, taking this opportunity to hone Ma Heng and gain more experience in military affairs is a normal operation and not worth making a fuss about.

Ma Heng was not a dull person, and he could sense something from Xu Shu's attitude. Therefore, during this period of time in Yangping Pass, he basically did not wear the scribe's robes and wide sleeves, but wore a helmet and armor. There is no difference at all from ordinary generals.

Even Xu Huang couldn't help but be a little surprised. After all, in Xu Huang's impression, shouldn't the so-called long history be like a person with a long robe and a high crown?

Although Ma Heng saw Xu Huang's confused look, he just laughed and did not explain. Ma Heng is not Xu Huang's father, nor is he Xu Huang's master, so why should he help Xu Huang solve his doubts?

However, if he wanted to steal some troops in turn, Ma Heng showed no psychological burden. He told Xu Huang how much supplies and food he had prepared, and provided them to Xu Huang as a supplement. After some friendly friendships, He immediately changed his tone and talked about how tough these subordinates of Xu Huang were. There were actually many people carrying huge battle axes, indicating how to train such powerful soldiers, so that Xu Huang could not hesitate to teach him...

Xu Huang wasn't stupid either. He beat him a few times and got by. I use a tomahawk, so I taught some of my subordinates how to use an axe. Isn't this normal? But Ma Heng is not one of his subordinates, so why should he say it in vain?

Ma Heng didn't take it seriously. Anyway, in the Han Dynasty, no matter what kind of knowledge it was, it was basically where everyone settled down, so it was normal not to teach it easily. Anyway, it was originally a test of three poles with dates and no dates, so Xu Huang It was normal not to say that he was a colleague and there would be another chance in the future, so he said goodbye with a smile and left.

But after Xu Huang sent Ma Heng away, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and turned to look at his subordinates carrying battle axes...

During this period of time, Xu Huang was basically in Xiliang Longyou, so he naturally recruited some Xiliang men. These Xiliang men were tall and strong, otherwise they would not be able to wield heavy battle axes.

Xu Huang looked at it and suddenly had a preliminary idea. He couldn't help but frown, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the tricolor flag above his head. Well, I don't know whether General Zhengxi would support this idea. …

Sigh, it’s very distressing...
